I will sneak it in...

So Sunday has rolled around again and I will shortly be going off to work. Just to my little part-time post. The other half will be going to his drum lesson soon so I will be able to sneak in an hour of knitting in peace before I go off to work.

I wonder if I can get another three scarves made in the hour?

Knitting

Today I will mostly be doing...finger knitting!

It has just become my new little obsession. I can't put down the wool if I tried. Furthermore, not to help matters but my sister has decided that she would like me to knit her a couple of skinny scarves as well as making her some headbands (because apparently these are so hard to find in the fashion capital of the world - Paris - where she lives).
So anyway, as I was knitting away I realised that I have a massive knot in my wool. Don't have a clue how these things happen to me. So I decided to cut it there. It made a teeny scarf... or a cute and unusual necklace. So out comes the sewing basket and whoosh.. after ten minutes and a few choice swear words, I had fashioned a cute little necklace. Now I just have to hope my sister doesn't see otherwise she will be adding to her order and I'm pushed for time as it is.

Not sure if I am keen on the bow ribbon. Will have to have a play around.

Starting up

This isn't easy but I'm giving it a go. I am a person with sporadic free time periods on my hands and whenever I get the chance I pick up the sewing kit/glue/paper or what ever else is my latest half-finished project and try to finish. This blog will be full of my crafts, ideas and musings. Hopefully this will help inspire other crafters out there.

So hello and welcome. X
